MAKE THE HEN HOUSE.
- ' , A GOOD HEfflf HOUSE
' ?t ? ?
IfonB roosting in trees use ail their
'Sod and energy just to keep warm.
Yt makes vigorous stock, bat it re-j
. alts in few eggs. The final test o
the hen-house is the -egg yield.
Clean. No master how expensive)
-'our poultry house is, it is not v
' -gal home ijnless it is kept ' clean .
)irfease and vermin thrive in filth.
Plan the" house so that it will be
;asily cleaned. Put a good floor,
ave a dropping board, hinged roosts,
vnd nests that are easily cleaned,
lake sure there are no cracks or
jrevices to afford hiding places for
nites. \ ' "> -
Light. Sunlight is the be?t germ
destroyer in the world. Sunshine is
better egg producer- than rea pep
>or. Not many disease germs can|
levclop in a dry, sunny house.
Dry. A good floor and a goor|
system of ventilation insure a dry
house. V \ .
Well veikUated. Hens require
:rom two and one-half to three times
is much air per pound of weight a?
forses, cows, or other farm animals,
his is because they maintain a high
omperature ? 106 to 108 degrees. It
akes air and food to keep up thb
-igh temperature. ? k;) _
Another thing to remember is that
lens have no liquid excretion from
the kidneys and no sweat glands. All
the moisture qf the body is thrown ofi
>y the lungs. The air in a pooifc

An open front, or partly opei J

liiild the house deep enough
10 roosts will not be closo- to tl
len windows. Build it low enouf
. the i*ear so that the body heat i~~
.!0 hens will help to keep the spa<
hove the roosts warm. Unbleache
mslin or burlap curtain^ are ne?
ossary for zero weather. V . J
The warmly built hen house, wit -
ventilation, is a hot-house durin

ibor-saving devices in and aroum
as you <ytn afford. Labor Cost
uoaey. Anything "which lessens th<
(amount of labor in caring for your]
flock increases your profit.
Houses need not be expensive.
Good housing does not mean expen- 1
'sivfe housing. Examine your hen
house and see i& you cannot make it
a better home for your hens. Per
'ufps it needs a few boards nailed on
tho north jide, or a hole out in the
louth side, some good nests built, or
clean litter on the floor. If you are
building a new house,make it right
If you already have a hen house, go
qui and look it over aojjl make sure
that it is clean and comfortable as
you can make it. r - .

THE HOME. #APE? IN VERSE
^ Today, so far as appearance goes,
. the -chief difference between the
country paper and the city paper is
in size. The country paper, being
in the main a local, paper, does not
peed the space that the city daily re
quires ffor its general jnews and fea
tures. But today the country paper,
make use mf many of the same typo
graphical cnvices and pictures that the |
city paper uses. This word is need
ed to introduce d fine little poem by I
an unknown writer, who speaks off
the older type of -country weekly
which tpo often was poorly printed]
and edited*
Tisn't filled witfhcuts pictures j
nor1 the latest news dispatches;
And 'the paper's often dampened, and j
the print is-oemetimes blurred.
There is oc'y one edition, and the
~ eye's glance often catches
Traces of a missing letter, or at
times a misspelled -word. t .
^o ^cablegram or special anywhere
the eye engages;
The makeup is perhaps a trtfle crudej
and primitive.
But an atmosphere of home life fills'
\ and permeates the pages'
Of the*, lit tie country paper, printed
"Ptbere you tteed to live.
How 4he: heart grows soft and tender
while its columns you're perusing, |
Every item is familiar, every name
you know full well. > ' ?'
And {#fiobd of recollection passes o'et |
you while you're mnsin^
On the past, and wave* about you
an imaginative spell. -
'You can .see the. eld home village once*]
again in fancy, seething -
To be clasping hand of neighbor, an^
of friend and relative;
And their faces rise before you as
you're idly, fondly dretfming
O'er the little country paper print
ed where you used to live* 1. ,
